I didn't think this team had it in them

[JoeSixPat]

Sure everything looked great early in the season...

But as time wore on it became clear that, save for their very hot start, the Red Sox were not playing like the best team in baseball

Putting one's status as a fan aside, in August and September it was very much looking like the Yankees were the better team, peaking at just the right time.

Indeed, although the sweep of the Angels certainly helped boost some confidence, I wasn't the least bit surprised to see them down 1-3 against the Indians.

But then Shilling and Ortiz apparently called a team meeting when the team was on the brink of elimination - and that turned everything around.

So I give them all a ton of credit for how they toughened up and fought back against the Tribe, eventually winning the World Series.

They were the best team in baseball when it counted the most - and no one can ever take that away from them.
